Music Servers, Do They Matter?

The Occasional Podcast host Brian Hunter is joined by digital designer and Innous Director Nuno Vitorin. 

In more analog mindset, does it make as much sense to evaluate a separate music server in the same terms as one might consider a cartridge to a turntable? In addition to thinking about the why, Nuno discusses much of the how – including where to get started and what to look for. 

The discussion starts at the very beginning of source material. Listen, learn and hopefully adapt your way to a better listening experience.

I do not think so if Fibre streaming is used. There are some comments by Lumin X1 users on this thread that seem to contradict what I am saying, but I want more feedback before I am convinced.

I have not tested this with an expensive Music Server. I did ask this same question as the OP's on the ComputerAudiophile.com site. The guy running the site said that he will do an article on this issue. I trust the guys over there when it comes to computer audio. A Music Server is also a computer.

@sns Have you tried Fibre before?

@sns So the next question to you would be if  have you used a crappy  noisy computer as a music server and compared it to your (I am assuming) expensive music server. This would be after you had installed the Fibre Optic conversion in the last leg of streaming just before your DAC.
